Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Memories are fading, A single voice complaining While days are stacking up It's hardly worth debating, The people are frustrated Drink from poison cup The system is collapsing, Conscience is relapsing The damage has been done On the day you come rising up On the day you come rising up Vision is rejected, The people's choice is tested So ignorance has won Children are infected, Remedy suggested Don't drink from tainted cup Overpopulation, a media sensation The damage has been done On the day you come rising up On the day you come rising up On the day you come rising up On the day you come rising up On the day you come rising up On the day you come rising up On the day you come rising up On the day you come rising up
